    • this scale is okayish as well but it seems a bit too generous. in your scale you assume them a bit better than I do,which is close enough to be still almost same as mine
    • but if i were a host doing TG i would judge rating like as follows: <1000 as useful as maginot line in WW2 (complete new,as useful as a tiny roadbump) <1200 knows how to get full pop at some point <1300 can get 200 pop at min 17 with a few forge upgrades <1400 mature enough to play the "elite" TG if hes lucky. can get 200 pop in 15 mins and all forge upgrades in 17, but dumb at choosing what fights to take,how to fight in a battle,that (actual fight) sort of thing <1500 has enough IQ to understand what is rushing and how to play with/against it pretty well. has eco good enough to reach 200 pop before min 12 and all forge upgrades in min 15, can be officially considered as a "strong player" in most TG games these days <1600 old enough player to know what is OP,what is gimmicky,what works great in a given specific situation, what is bad asf, and etc. <1700 knows the very rarely known things (e.g what type of army to make against a certain civ, what kind of resources your particular civ takes up a lot, how to heal heroes at giga fast speeds without any temple) and knows how to play atleast one civ perfectly well, in the best way that civ can be played tactically 2000+ right now = vinme,vali,borg,wolf  
    • Enhancement to freehand formations: units now actually order themselves by distance, and don't cross each other's paths. Nice when microing ranged cavs. Before : After : Committed for integration in R29 too, as part of https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/pulls/852 (use common sorting functions).
    • as a bourgeoisie of this scale, I must say that I divide people in classes by using petra: >1100 = can't defeat very hard petra >1200 = can defeat very hard but will be tough 1300 = can defeat multiple very hard petra bots 1400= can defeat 4 very hard petra bots but barely 1600= can defeat 4 very hard petra bots with time but easily enough 1700= can defeat 5 very hard petras alone. this scale is calibrated for a27 dumb petra,not the gigachad we have right now thanks to troops scanning for units even while attacking buildings (lucky if you did it in a27, 1400+ is nigh impossible in a28)
    • I think the biggest problem with the rating system is its too easy to "farm" points and then refuse to play against bettter players.  So in a lot of ways most of the ratings you will see don't mean anything.  For 1x1 it should be more like SC and you get assigned a player based on your rating, so new players can only play new players etc (For rated games) that way you cant get to 1500-1600 by only playing 1200 players I try and find rated games of ~100 of my current rating, but its harder cause a lot of 1400/1500s don't want to play rated, mostly cause they probably aren't 1400-1500!
